Why Choose an ASC?

When patients choose to use an outpatient
surgery center, also called an ambulatory surgery center (ASC), most find that
the process is much more convenient, as well as more personal. Our center
offers a relaxed environment with medical staff focused on offering
individualized patient care. Our specialized staff helps each patient's visit
go as quickly and smoothly as possible.

Other benefits of an ASC include:

Ease of
Use:

Since our center focuses on a limited number of
procedures, most patients find that we are much easier to navigate than a
typical hospital environment.

To meet a patient's specific scheduling needs,
we offer a number of scheduling options. Plus, since all surgeries at an ASC
are scheduled, your procedure is rarely bumped or delayed by an emergency case.

Reduced
Cross-Infection:

We see surgical patients only. In fact, if a
patient is ill, we usually will reschedule the procedure for a later date.
Therefore, there is a much lowered opportunity for someone else's illness to
become yours in an ASC than in a hospital.

Focus on
the Patient:

We know exactly how many patients we will serve
each day and can, therefore, staff appropriately to ensure very personal care.
Our priority in the center is you and your procedure.

Reduced
Cost:

Since we do not have the overhead of a surgery
facility that offers a range of procedures including those for the very
seriously ill and emergency surgery, our ASC is typically able to perform your
procedure at the same high level of care with the same specialized attention
but at a lower cost, an especially nice advantage if you have a copay.
